News and events for the week beginning 19th January 2014

Summer Series – The Spirit-filled life

During the five weeks of Summer we’ll be looking in detail at the nine aspects of the Spirit’s fruit in the life of believer, following the list from Galatians 5:22-23. Each Sunday we’ll have a different topic in the morning and the evening, so that we will cover the full nine aspects of the Spirit’s fruit, as well as an introductory talk on the first morning.

Next week, Ben Pfahlert will be speaking in the morning. Ben is the National Director of the Ministry Training Strategy (MTS) and will be speaking on the topic of ‘gentleness’. In the evening, our own Tim Orange will speak on the topic of ‘self-control’. Don’t miss these great speakers!

Weekendaway 2014

It’s only eight weekends until our church retreat on the weekend of 21st to 23rd March. We’re heading away together to the beautiful ‘Waterslea’ site in Nowra for a great Bible teaching, prayer, and lots of opportunities to informally spend time together across the ages of our church. Our guest speaker is Mark Thompson, the Principal of Moore Theological College. Full details and registration forms available shortly.

School holidays

During holidays many of our normal programs are taking a break, including our children’s and youth programs, our Seniors’ Service, our Men’s and Women’s Dinners, and other programs. A perfect reason to join us twice on a Sunday for our summer series!
